New online e-Arrival form required starting January 2025...  Almost all passports can secure a Visa-On-Arrival, but for efficiency they can be secured in advance easily via a Govt website (eVisa) or Mobile App (eVisa).  (Note that all ASEAN members do not require visas for tourism.)  IN ADDITION... ALL arrivals into Cambodia must also submit an e-Arrival form via a Govt website (e-Arrival) or Mobile App (e-Arrival) within 7 days before arriving.

​

Important Notice re Sihanoukville (map)...  Our closest city on the mainland, Sihanoukville, sadly resembles a giant construction zone of abandoned casinos.  It is home to kilometers of incredibly beautiful white sand beaches, however getting to/from those beaches is not a pleasant experience given all the construction (likely to continue through 2025).

​​

       1.  Thus we recommend that our guests time their travel through Sihanoukville to avoid layovers in Sihanoukville.  This is easy if you arrive in Sihanoukville by mid-afternoon and depart the island after check-out before lunch. 

       2.  It is important to take only Island Speed Ferry or Romny Ferry to Soonoeng Pier (fka Paradise Pier) in Saracen Bay, on Koh Rong Sanloem (not Koh Rong).

FERRY SERVICES TO OUR ISLAND....  Island Speed Ferry or Rumny Ferry

​

Important... We need to know which ferry you will take, so that our shuttle boat can meet your ferry and our staff can carry your luggage for you.   If you forget to inform us in advance, then we ask that 1 member stay with your luggage at the pier and the other(s) walk along the white sand beach to get us (~10-min walk from Paradise Pier).

​

i.  We are happy to book your ferry to the island, if you contact us with enough advance notice!  There is no extra charge, and you can settle the cost for Romny Ferry with us at check-out, however Island Speed Ferry must be paid to them prior to boarding the boat.

​

ii. No problem if you prefer to book yourself, but do remember to inform us of your arrival in advance so our friendly staff will be waiting for you on arrival to help with your luggage, but AVOID the 3 other ferry companies servicing Saracen Bay - at Eden, Freedom & Rumi piers - which are long hard walks to Sol Beach Resort (see below.)
